emerge -vuDN world is locked because of "net-misc/mDNSResponder" is blocking net-dns/avahi-0.6.23 I also tried the hint http://www2.juicydata.com:8888/content/gentoo-avahi-and-mdnsresponder-blocking-each-other-fixed, i.e. setting the avaho USE flag for kde-base/kdelibs and reemerging kdelibs-3*.

I just found that my bug is probably a duplicate of bug 243004
You should re-emerge avahi with USE="mdnsresponder-compat" to satisfy the needs of kde-base/kdnssd-4.1.2. After that re-emerge kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.10-r2 with USE="avahi" and if you still get a blocker post the output of emerge -pvuDNt world after you did the above.
Juergen, yes this is an old problem; somehow your bug is duplicate of bug #175808 ... and this mDNSresponder vs Avahi is an old problem we often see in this BTS. http://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=mDNSResponder+avahi&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailcc2=1&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0= This is more specifically duplicate of bug #176827 The fix to workaround this depends on your conf. I usually emerge -C both, what allows to emerge them individually, directly to the latest version. Other wise, you will have to find a combination of flag so that you wont pull both in (solution I choosed, and recommend in your case).
Please close DUPLICATE, or INVALID.
add USE=avachi fixed it for me.
